This working group builds on growing inquiries into the invisible labor sustaining artificial intelligence and asks: How is human labor organized, formalized, and valued across different phases of AI development? What kinds of epistemic authority do data workers possess, and how are their contributions recognized or erased? What might bottom-up policy initiatives that foreground workers’ perspectives and benefits look like? We bring together researchers, data workers and civil society, and collaborate through expert workshops and collaborative drafting. Participants contribute their insights from case studies and lived labor experiences, which is essential for developing worker-centered policy initiatives.

How do we ensure that the use of AI for Holocaust memory and education is critically informed? How can AI models be used to enhance the memorialisation and pedagogical aims of the Holocaust memory and heritage sector? Whilst there is an emerging body of theoretical literature on this topic, there still remains a dearth of empirical answers. Our working group brings together an interdisciplinary group of academics, from the cognitive and communication sciences, and humanities, and memory practitioners to explore these urgent questions. We will use a design-led research methodology and be influenced by the development of working papers to adopt a mixed-method approach combining arts and science methodologies.

This project addresses the transformations reshaping academic publishing in the digital age. Driven by technological advancements, particularly digitalisation, datafication and artificial intelligence (AI), the scholarly literature is evolving from a collection of research accounts into a data-driven resource.

This century has been the deadliest for journalists while the working environment of conflict reporting has expanded to include civil protests, environmental crisis aftermaths, online harassment, and state surveillance, among other arenas. Rapidly-evolving sociopolitical and technological elements further exacerbate journalists’ increased vulnerability. Our study seeks to understand the evolving nature of conflict reporting through the lenses of technological transformation and expanding conflict environments.
